The new house will certify the results.

The new term begins on jan 3rd, and there will technically be no seated members or speaker. The seargent at arms will swear in the members and they will elect a speaker.

On jan 6th, the house will vote to certify the election.

Even if the gov is shutdown, essential operations will continue, which includes the house and senate.
